About

After the Civil War, several national organizations were formed to help farmers. In Mississippi and other parts of the South, they addressed the crippling crop-lien debt system that had replaced slavery. One such group, the Farmers' Union, was chartered in the early 1900s. As with the Farmers' Alliance before it, the Farmers' Union reached its maximum membership in the state quickly, but by 1910 it was in steep decline.
